Nuclear thunder ai anti air

Only OSA-AKM and the Roland are hard to dodge. Chaff and flare or multipathing are completely useless, so… To avoid those missiles, just fly as fast as possible and pull aggressive manoeuvres.

Apparently doing barrel rolls against the OSAs legit works in the phantom with low-ish fuel.

Had one fly past me at like 1.5 km distance after a nuke toss.

The problem is that the SACLOS SAM sites can see straight through tree cover even though it is obscuring the line of sight between the launcher and your aircraft. Another problem is the fact that the Osas are firing whilst on the move, even though they physically cannot in real life. Even the most well-trained SA-6 crews could not pull off some of the shit that the AIs in NT are doing.

The BUKs also track you through the ground, they are also a issue.

All the AA in this mode need line of sight checks because the OSA, ZSU, and BUK are 100% not abiding by such.

Same deal they need to reload way slower still, its crazy how many GBU-39s a single OSA can still shoot down after the supposed reload changes.

The Roland is an absolute joke compared to the Osa, the latter having more range often leads to multiple sites overlapping making it even worse to deal with on the US side, idk if todays changes will make much of a difference (probably not)

Exactly - the BUKs are firing even though I am below their line of sight, and there are no TAD radars scanning me.

They said it here: Community Bug Reporting System

They don’t need to reload until now… they just update the event.

They 100% do not reload, I just had a single OSA shoot down 6 AGM-65Ds and 8 GBU-39s.

I said after this update.

And I’ll say again, after the update they do not reload, the patch notes are lying.

Flakrads run out of missiles, OSAs, BUKs and S300s do not.

Proof it… the FlaRaks only have 2; of course it’s going to be finished fast. OSA have 6… How many SPAA are you even facing at once?

One OSA AKM, with a payload now of 24 GBU-39s, this is targeting the northernmost OSA on the map, which is alone.

The OSA successfully intercepted 18 of the 24, only dying because of sheer incoming volume, meanwhile prior I outraded a flakrad with 4 vikhirs easily.

Make a bug report with evidence then if that true… I will support it.

  • but report forums doing anything

Lmao

Just prove me that it can shoot 18 missiles to intercept all the bombs.

Literally fly out any plane with GBU-39s and just dump them all in a line at a OSA, its that simple.

I need video to believe that the OSA will shoot out 18 missiles. That all…

Heres 10 GBU-38s just now. Took all of them down without any issue and is even continuing to engage a F-4E passing it.

And no, I’m not making a video to prove something you can literally do with dumb bombs on your own.

The only current factor stopping OSAs from just being the iron dome is their engagement time, as they can only guide one missile at a time.

At this point I’m genuinely just burning out on this mode hard by how comically overpowered the AA is, ground attack beyond rocket spam and nuke spam is just totally useless.

Why don’t you just show me the battle log? That would have been so much easier to read…

Gonna test it out…
